On-Campus Volunteer Opportunities

The Redwood City School District (RCSD) welcomes parent volunteers and partners in a systematic process to ensure health and safety for our students. Over many years, volunteers have provided assistance to our school programs and our collective efforts to educate our students in academic, social and emotional opportunities.

Please take the PTO Volunteer Survey to sign up and learn more about volunteering with us!

LUNCHTIME LIBRARY

Our magical library is open for student visits during lunchtime. We need volunteers to help supervise the line as kids wait for their turn to enter. Shifts are 12-1 PM every day.

PICK-UP/DROP-OFF TRAFFIC DUTY

To keep the drop-off and pick-up running smoothly, parent volunteers are needed. Sign up on Konstella for the Safety/Traffic Committee to sign up for a traffic duty spot.

THURSDAY MARKET

A weekly bake sale led by parent volunteers selling snacks and baked goods to students directly after school on Thursdays. This is a wonderful community-building ritual and parents will be needed to make it a success. Send your students to school with $1 or $2 dollars on Thursdays!

GARDEN WORK DAYS

With support from a $19K grant we updated our garden to be a sustainable and dynamic space which includes an interactive garden and two separate outdoor learning spaces. Come join one of our Saturday garden work days and help with a variety of tasks--no experience required! There's even a craft for kids!

ORION S.T.E.A.M. COMMITTEE

STEAM teacher Bryan Howell and parent volunteer Jeffrey Louie invite interested parents to contribute ideas and volunteer in the MAKER SPACE. If you are interested in supporting STEAM education at Orion, please contact our STEAM teacher, Mr. Bryan Howell, and join the STEAM Team. We are actively recruiting parent volunteers to support the Maker Space during lunch from 12-1 PM every day.

TUTORING

Tutoring after school is a parent-led initiative. We need volunteers to tutor kids (weekly or every other week), as well as parents to help organize our volunteer efforts
